Caught in the act: detections of recoiling supermassive black holes from simulations

Alexander Rawlings, Peter H. Johansson, Thorsten Naab +3

We study the detectability of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) with masses of $M_{\bullet }\gtrsim 10^9{\mathrm{M}}_{\odot }$ displaced by gravitational wave recoil kicks $(v_{\rm ki…
